The Severn 4000 series control valve was initially developed over two decades ago specifically to satisfy the installation in cryogenic ASU and Hyco cold boxes of an all welded in construction, thus prevent any possibility of leakage within the insulated area, while giving full access to the valve trim from outside the cold box. Today, it remains a preferred solution for cryogenic control valve applications, industrial gas processing, and critical process control systems across global plants.
As such the 4000 Series Control Valve now benefits from extensive experience in providing cost effective and easily maintained valves in an industry which makes stringent demands from its suppliers. It continues to be a trusted choice for operators seeking high‑performance control valves, zero‑leakage solutions, and long‑life valve performance in demanding conditions.
Construction materials of the body is either stainless steel (model 4400) or aluminium (model 4300) to suit adjoining pipework. Internal surface finish is considered to be of major importance to ensure degrees of cleanliness that are necessary for the Industrial Gas market and therefore all valves are cleaned and assembled suitable for oxygen service as standard. This strict approach supports requirements for oxygen‑clean valves, industrial gas safety compliance, and high‑purity gas handling.
Design Features:
- Model 4400 – one piece stainless steel body / extension
- Model 4300 – aluminium body / stainless steel extension factory assembled
- Smooth profile globe body construction
- Extension lengths to suit installation
- Cold box flange adjustable or welded
- Screwed in seat standard, cartridge cage trim options
- Large choice of trim sizes available with low noise and anti-cavitation options
- Robust parts for trouble free service and low cost of ownership
- Inherently characterised trims available in linear equal percentage or semi-throttle
- Cleaned and degreased for Oxygen service as standard
- Soft seat insert option for ANSI Class VI
- Various options of end connection
These engineered features make the Severn 4000 Series ideal for low‑temperature applications, high‑efficiency flow control, anti‑cavitation valve solutions, and noise‑reduction valve design.
Benefits
- Top-entry servicing with direct access to plug and seat
- Reduced inspection and maintenance costs
- Extensive trim selection
- Reliable leakage performance, bubble tight shut off available
- High interchangeability between sizes and other products
